LatestMacGyver joins Jack Dalton in Kabulstan on a search for a fountain of youth, but finds himself battling nuclear terrorists in the process.
He's everyone's favorite action hero... but he's a hero with a difference. Angus MacGyver is a secret agent whose wits are his deadliest weapon. Armed with only a knapsack filled with everyday items he picks up along the way, he improvises his way out of every peril the bad guys throw at him. Making a bomb out of chewing gum? Fixing a speeding car's breaks... while he's riding in it? Using soda pop to cook up tear gas? That's all in a day's adventures for MacGyver. He's part Boy Scout, part genius. And all hero.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The term 'MacGyver' entered the Oxford English Dictionary in 2015 as a verb meaning to improvise. Your dad's favorite show literally changed language.
Richard Dean Anderson hated guns so much he had it contractually written that MacGyver never uses them—a clause that cost the show military cooperation for filming.
